Our Alliance

Our Alliance is comprised of dance artists, arts organizations, businesses, institutions, and patrons from across the state who are united under a shared love for dance and a recognition of the important role it plays in Vermont’s creative economy. Vermont’s natural beauty and quality of life attract great talent—but its rural nature and limited public funding for the arts make it challenging to keep talent here. Rather than losing talent to better opportunity elsewhere, the Alliance is working to help Vermont reach its full potential as a dance destination.

Join the Movement

Our progress serves your progress; our success is your success. While dancers have long been conditioned to believe that creating art at their own cost and sacrifice is normal, it’s time to change the status quo. Art is a hallmark of cultural sophistication. Its presence in the public sphere improves residents’ quality of life, brings communities together, and contributes to Vermont’s tourism economy. Join our movement to ask our policy makers to recognize the value dance brings to Vermont via more public funding for the arts. Your membership comes with benefits such as discounts on classes and studio space, fiscal sponsorship, networking, and the opportunity to promote your events and classes.
